Chief Executive Officer

Addressing Food Poverty

Swindon Food Collective is an independent charity that aims to help people in Swindon, or the surrounding area, who are suffering from financial hardship and finding it difficult to provide food for themselves, their family or dependents.

They receive donations of non-perishable, tinned or dried food and toiletries from churches, schools, local companies, community groups, supermarkets and individuals and currently feed nearly 10,000 people per year; one third of these are children.

They work with many approved organisations, schools, doctors and social workers who can refer people in crisis to us. As well as providing food to address food poverty, they also provide a friendly chat and try to signpost people for further help. Indeed, it is this ‘signposting’ or working with people to enable them to enhance their lives where they see their services evolving. Swindon Food Collective are also reviewing how they can best utilise short-life foods. They operate from a central warehouse and have 11 distribution centres around Swindon and surrounding areas where food parcels can be collected.

The charity is financially sound and has the resources to develop their service offering. They have recently hired a Finance Manager, created a new post as Business Strategy Manager and are also out to market to appoint an Operations Manager.

The role

To lead the charity forward, they are creating the role of Chief Executive Officer for the first time. They are seeking an experienced professional who can lead us not only in addressing food poverty but also helping others to help themselves through forging collaborative working arrangements with other organisations, perhaps even forming a co-operative. The charity is open to new ideas.

Key responsibilities will include:

- Be the face and voice of the charity - its principal ambassador, promoting and developing Swindon Food Collective’s work, raising the charity’s profile and maximising its reach.
- Lead the senior management team to lead, support and motivate all staff, aligning employees and volunteers with the charity’s aims, objectives and ambitions.
- Develop and propose a medium-to-long-term strategy for the charity and present it to the Board of Trustees for discussion and approval.
- Oversee the development and implementation of business plans in line with the agreed strategy and report to the Board on progress through agreed priorities & KPIs.
- Identify and assess strategic risks, issues and opportunities and take responsibility for initiating and leading associated changes.
- Maintain a long-term staffing and resourcing plan to underpin the agreed strategy and adopt best practice for the management, development and engagement of staff and volunteers.
- Seek out, develop and maintain effective working relationships with relevant organisations and individuals to promote the work of the charity and facilitate the implementation of its strategic objectives.
- Work towards the achievement of long-term sustainability, developing the charity’s business model, ensuring effective use of assets and maximising income, for example, from fundraising, service contracts and earned income.
- Take executive responsibility for all functions including the warehouse, distribution, administration, finance, fundraising, marketing, communications, and IT.
- Take executive responsibility for the overall financial health of the charity, ensuring financial resources are managed effectively, identifying risks and taking appropriate action.
- Liaise with the Board to ensure that the charity’s overall governance structure, policies and procedures are appropriate and effective, taking remedial measures and implementing changes as necessary.

About us

Our goal is to promote, preserve, and restore the mental health and wellbeing of women and girls, to empower them to make a total and sustainable recovery from the experiences of violence. 

The Centre for Women’s Justice (CWJ) aims to help women and girls who are subject to male violence get better access to legal remedies to defend and enhance their rights; CWJ’s mission is to hold the state to account and challenge discrimination in the justice system around male violence against women and girls.

Every year, The Brain Tumour Charity invests 50% of our income on funding research to find a cure for brain tumours. 

Using your science communications experience and expertise, you’ll develop a deep understanding of this research portfolio and support colleagues across the organisation to communicate our research to different audiences.

As the key link between the research and marketing teams, you’ll create communications plans featuring inspiring, scientifically sound stories that engage our warm and cold audiences.

You’ll have excellent attention to detail and be keen to join a bold and collaborative organisation looking to showcase the research it’s funding, as we work to ensure everyone affected by brain tumours lives longer and better.

Casework & Training Lead Officer

Full-time (35 hours); initial one-year contract; £28-35K dependent on experience, immediate start

Deadline for applications: 25th May 2025

Amicus provides representation for those facing the death penalty in the US.  We believe capital punishment is imposed disproportionately on the most vulnerable in society, violating their right to due process and to equal justice before the law.  Our aims are to provide better access to justice and to raise awareness of potential abuses of defendants' rights.

We are not primarily a campaigning organisation; rather, we believe we can make the greatest difference through frontline work, including via our extensive network of casework teams working on a variety of projects.

We’re seeking a Lead Officer to play a central role in the busy Amicus team, with the position’s focus being on casework and on training.  The role offers a great deal of variety: coordinating our busy casework programme of projects, including supporting caseworkers and teams; and leading in the delivery of training and educational events, especially those aimed at our casework teams.

You will be part of a small team, which means we all pitch in to help each other when necessary. Workload will be demanding at times, an ability to work across multiple tasks and to prioritise will be essential.  Given the critical and highly sensitive nature of our work, attention to detail, meeting deadlines and quality of work all are a high priority.  You will be interacting with law firms and volunteers all around the world, making communication skills essential for the role.

This is a hybrid role; there will be a requirement to be in our central London office, generally Thursday and Fridays, as well as for casework briefings at law firms as required within the working day, alongside some remote working. Office hours are Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm with an hour lunch break. We run two major training events each year that would require weekend working. We would consider part-time/job-share working for the right person/people.

This is a wonderful opportunity to join our Amicus family and to help make a difference to the lives of under-represented individuals, through practical action.  If you’re passionate about human rights or social justice and believe in proactive action, then we can offer you a supportive environment where both your career and your passion can thrive.

Application process:

Please submit your application via email to:

• Allan (please see application method)

by providing your CV and a (maximum one-page) covering letter, highlighting how your skills and your experience meet the role’s needs. Applications must be received by 6pm on 25th May 2025.

Please note that applications without a covering letter will not be considered.

About Lumos

Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by the author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’s mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.  Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families. 

Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention and opportunities they need to thrive. Our three-pronged approach is to prevent family separation, to protect children and to promote care reform. We’ve made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care.  Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children.  We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.
